Day 379: A slow Sunday

As usual, we went to McDonald's for breakfast and then headed back to the room to hang out. It was Sunday today, so when we re-emerged to look for somewhere to eat, there wasn't much open. We ended up in Hong Kong Noodle, a restaurant just around from Taipan Food Corner. It was quite a big place, and had a few customers in, but the food was decidedly average.

After lunch, we went shopping and bought some shoes and sandals for Kate and Sarah, and a new iPhone case for Kate, and got some more money out. We then stopped in at the unusually named Bing Coffee (a reference to Chandler Bing of Friends fame perhaps) where I downed a very nice iced coffee and sipped a flat white.

We then headed back to the room, where we finally chose our Bali accommodation (for tomorrow night – nothing like leaving things to the last minute). We've been agonising over this decision for days – do we go for a place close to Kuta Beach and the airport in the south, where there's a bit of a buzz and some surf at the beach, or do we head further north, where it's significantly more quiet and you can go snorkelling. We eventually opted for the latter, reasoning that it would be nice to spend the last few days of the journey just chilling out, and booked a room at Apa Kabar Villas in Amed, which is on a north-facing stretch of coast in eastern Bali.

We spent the rest of the afternoon chilling out and watching movies – and the heavy rain falling outside – before heading out in search of somewhere to have dinner. There still wasn't much open, so we returned to Top Spot, where we were now old hands at the whole ordering business.
